India is blessed with vast floodplain wetland resources of 0.5 million ha that are distributed
in the Eastern and North Eastern States. They possess varying morphometry, ecological profile, trophic status and biota, and harbor around 96 fish species, however the fish diversity
is declining in recent years due to anthropogenic and other stressors including climate
change. The wetlands are serving the need for fish from sustenance level to high intensity
with varying management regimes. The average fish yield realized from these wetlands was
very low as 50 kg ha 1 yr 1 against the annual potential of 2000 kg ha 1 yr 1
. The fish yield
from these resources has enhanced through adoption of culture based fisheries and the
average yield has increased to 400 kg ha 1 yr 1
. The increase in fish yield is about 20% of
the production potential and there exists wide scope for developing integrated management strategies for optimizing the fish yield. Insufficient access to scientific knowledge and
technologies, loss of biodiversity, habitat degradation, poor fisheries infrastructure, weak
financial capacity, lack of co-operative approach, poor linkages and unorganized institutional
arrangements pose challenges in achieving the potential. The present review synthesizes
the updated information available on floodplain wetlands and the changes and developments during the last few decades with reference to ecology, fisheries, biodiversity, production potential, threats, institutional arrangements, governance and recommends strategies
for conservation and sustainable fisheries development.
